hi every boddy
during my project, i worked with modder from
Age of empire II conqueror extension who made mod with voobly.
I saw people create drs folder and put slp file on it, but the probleme is
when you trying to put on Games\ directory no working (for game offline or gameRanger),UserPatch no read drs folder.
language.ini is not readed by local game, you need to add all language in dll (language.dll,language_x1.dll and language_x1_p1.dll)
So i made a tool to make this easy to implement the mod offline.
Aoe2 slp merge into Drs File tool have three functionality:
-merge slp files into Drs File (you need browser slp directory,browser the Drs file (example for wololokingdom is gamedata_x1_p1.drs)
and click merge slp into drs button. this will create for example gamedata_x1_p1Tmp.drs with all slp files merge into that file.
-language ini to dll, this functionnality will re compile language dll (browser language.ini,browser langauge dll and click update langauge dll button)
-language dll to ini this will extract text from the dll (browser language dll, click create language ini button)
i think this tool will help you to implement mod game more easy
note: if you you want create local game and voobly mod at the same time,
put you mod in Voobly Mods\AOC\Data Mods\(your mod)
create Games folder in Age of Empires II\Games
copy age2_x1.xml in Age of Empires II\Games
edite age2_x1.xml and change path value to voobly folder like this:
<path>..\Voobly Mods\AOC\Data Mods\(your mod)</path>
this methode is optimize because no need to duplicate files (in Games and in voobly folder)
